The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #39

Hey it's the term break! Long awaited, but man I need a break. But don't worry; things are slowly moving even though I'm sleeping more than I should. No really, I'll get a chapter of APoL going. Eventually. *laughs*

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: This must be their best episode yet. Following Ichigo-chan's injury, and after a long time talking with Hocchan (yeah Alice5 is like, out for about 8 years and she can say she's in a group) made Futaba realise that she really treasures the group. Of course, as a professional. And that makes sense, from a industry perspective. I can recall just weeks ago where sphere (the only idol group I'm into at the moment) has a live niconico broadcast promoting their latest single (yes the July one) and Tomacchan is absent. So yeah, for the good of the group, it's better of if you get rid of them. LOL Anyways, I must say this is good, I thought we never get to hear a new song again (this one is good, I must say), and if you did notice Ichigo's father is present. It's very obvious, if you ask me, and even if I haven't really seem him before. Last episode is next week, and this is going to be great. This show definitely helps to give us a quirky twist of reality in a part of the entertainment industry in Japan. Really, producers don't go crazy if you tell them you broke a leg; they'll be smarter than Futaba to tweak the event to work in the artists' favour anyway.
WORKING!!!: Hmm a conclusion? Probably not yet. An extra episode? Hell yes! Anyways, Inami's father approved of their relationship (you know who I'm talking about), but apparently Takanashi's mother... not so much. What a prick, the author. Is this a conclusion we're supposed to know from the manga? I don't think so. But then again who cares? This season has been done so well everyone has a part to their own ending, as Popura becomes the next main chief of the restaurant. But then again, memories are great, I wonder how the photo came out to be (I guess we'll never know), Yamada's impersonations of things she shouldn't know are very nostalgic and intrusive (talk about being the paparazzi), and I like how Otoo's wife is lost again. This also means this show will stay as it is (for now) for now? I don't know. Maybe the extra episode will explain to us everything that is supposed to end this show once and for all. I'm not pleased. That they said this is concluding the story in the manga- Wait. Did they? Oops. Oh well.

Eh? The next season of Anime is here already? But I haven't decided anything yet~
Anyways, there isn't much to decide, because like 80% of them are sequels that I NEVER watch. I did mention I'm going to take a watch on shows in the noitamina time slot, so yah. That show. That weird show. I'll see about it. After I give a chance on its TV premier two weeks from now.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: First thing, how does Mayuri have such a big contingency plan? Oh well I guess Kenpachi and Mayuri will be out of work for a while, but then he revived the 10th squad, so that is good news. Don't think it'll help much though, as the enemies still do not appear to be seen. Kyoraku is currently prepared to fight now, as the reverse ambush caught the sniper and lost his barrel. (yeah, like 'gun barrel') We're definitely going to see more action now that this happens, because it's probably his first full fight with an opponent. With lesser enemies to counter this will be getting closer to the ending... yes?

This Week on Klassic Note

Ok this week I had quite a couple of releases to talk about. Younha's new album is in, and yes it's more Japanese songs than Korean covers. Despite that, it's not very good, as listening to them doesn't give me any impressions. In that case, it might be a problem as she may not get in the list this year. Oh well. Next time then, Younha-san. Also, nano.RIPE's singles best collection is out, and I think I want to give a couple of songs, I think. Meanwhile, I'm still taking a listen to their rather plain and standard rock style, which brings me to think if my impressions of their songs are already limited in this case. Of course I didn't forget that I finally got hold of cozy diary's first full album. It was a nice listen, and I think this one I can give more, though I was aiming for giving the whole album. The songs are stepped up to a new level as usual of a major album production, but then the songs themselves already sound good. So sure, I'll give a couple from here. Then again I noticed some of their demo songs are not in the list, which means I will have to give them off the major review. Which I will, since I did before with Uchuu Club, if you ever remember who they are.

Next week finally brings in Tomacchan's new single, and also Earphone's new single, as heard from this week episode's live performance. Both I'll give a listen, especially when I've already pre-ordered one of them, hehe.


That's it. I'm tired. Not as tired as I have to listen to Yoru no Honki Dance, but still. Cya guys next week then, I'm going to enjoy a week of break for the time being. Until next time... take care of yourselves, as usual. Especially important if you stay where I'm at. The haze is killing me.

[P.S.: More Tomacchan and Mina-chan it seems, as I cannot get over their images yet. Don't worry, I won't. *smiles*

Tokuten photos schedule for next week though. So yeah, you're not going to see the real images because I like to keep it to myself. *laughs heartily*]

The Klassic Note Review 2015.09 Issue 1

And possibly the only issue. Next month then we'll see Tomacchan's new single.

If "Goddammit" and "Finally" are the first words I say when I waited for the whole day, you aren't wrong. But then again it's my fault for delaying my purchase (if not I could've gotten it from where I want), so I can't blame anyone for that. Besides, this single is controversial, as I land myself into idolism again.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Kotobuki Minako - Candy Color Pop [Single]

Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(I know, very "pop" in effects. And no close-ups again as usual, unless you're rich enough to get the Limited Edition. But then, I like the bird(s) in the album art.)

Origin: If you're familiar with Klassic Note, you should know Mina-chan comes in a long line of idol music artists, which I myself refer to as "idolism" reviews, and where focus is placed upon giving the person more than giving the songs. In this case, Mina-chan has a unique and a nice voice. From her second album last year we've had a fair share of plenty of dance pop songs along with her classic "Kotobuki Rock" styles, the former is trying to convince me to like it as well as appreciate it, and so we're here. This time places the dance pop song in the front again, and should be her 3rd (from 'Prism' to 'pretty fever'), and this one turns my expectations around. I'll talk more about it below.

(1) Candy Color Pop
Kudos to whoever is the person who thought of the song title, but then again (I know it's the lyricist, and) the composers themselves come back from doing the B-side of her previous single to this. I know I've been too kind to keep giving them chance, but a simple and short song I cannot miss. Why the initial bad impression? I can explain to you guys when I heard the instrumental version as I was reviewing the single: It's just beats until the chorus. You tell me how repetitive the beats are again. Then again, this song is given due to Mina-chan, a simple melody, and very creative (though not meaningful enough) lyrics. But then again, I saw the music video already, so who cares? *laughs*
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) Time Capsule
This one was  more of a catch when I first heard it, and decided and prepared to only give this song, but then when I heard the full song it wasn't impressive (the usual extended "bridge" mistake), and actually at one point in time decided to flip things around, by giving the A-side only instead. But no, I think this song is good, lyrics well done by the exact same person who did the previous song above (what a coincidence, huh), and I like the mood of the song. If you understand the lyrics then that is an added plus point.
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

Conclusion: Since I categorise her as someone I give total bias to like some others, she falls under the conclusion of "I like her and I like the songs she sings in it". But then again, the songs aren't bad, and the initial intention of production is obviously to entice many with a dance pop song, so I guess my review will be justified. Just go take a listen, and if you don't like it you don't like her. Simple. Then again, she sings nice songs, so I like to give her a chance. I wonder when I'll stop though. I thought I will, but then...

THE PACKAGE

Review by tonight. (Goddamn finally after a week! *sigh*) pic.twitter.com/MvuC2Fu4Cy

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) September 25, 2015

Well if you came here because of this Tweet, then you're at the right place. If you skipped everything to see if I'll repost this Tweet, then I suggest you go read the review first, and take a listen to Mina-chan's voice too.

Then again, I'm also for the special photo gift anyways, and the selection process is limited because I gave the order only after I heard the full single, which means places like Animate and Gamers (which have the best photos yet again) (and that the latter is my best choice) will always be empty. Sony Music Japan was good, but then I ended up with Tower Records this time as I noticed, every single time I got her smiling, so this one does not. And then the perfectionist me also (now then) considered the cropped image size and how it fits on my phone (and just now also thought of how the logo will affect the crop too), and still didn't change my decision. Somehow regretting it already actually, but as always I like. The free gift. So I won't complain. I'm going to collect them all. Too bad I noticed that I can do so like, a year and a half ago. *sob*

Mina-chan over the singles. I mean, I really like her smile. :)

That's all, I guess. Cya guys next week, where I get my hands on Tomacchan's single, even though I ordered both of them (singles) (releases) (CDs, I mean) at the same day. Oh well, Tomacchan's new single only releases next week, but then hopefully I'll get it by the weekend. So don't go too far away, because I might just post another review quite soon.

[P.S.: I recently read about a post in the Internet from a guy who went to her release event, and it was quite interesting. Trivia played a big part of the 2-hour event, and questions include how many birds there are in the regular edition album art cover to which alphabet does her song titles come out most frequently. Yeah, weird, and I will have failed as a fan, but then whoever knows it got some poster of some sort, so that's a way to treat an ultimate fan, I guess. I don't even know she doesn't like watermelons. How, Mina-chan? What about watermelon-cracking in summer? She'll miss out on so much.]

Being mature is apparently not caring about everything but complaining all about it.

This lecturer? Very mature. Unfortunately, me too. lol

Really, there is a difference between leaving the house and leaving the house for yourself.

I don't do the latter. Which is disappointing. It'll probably happen, when I start to like myself.

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #38

Eh... I'd rather do another post on this, but then... Happy Birthday, LX. Yeah. it's today. Her birthday wish from me? I'd like to see her replace everyone on my phone homescreen background. *laughs*

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: Another episode of nothing but voice acting, well almost. Futaba was down from work, and not as bad as this episode's guest Shiraishi Ryouko described. Their first live concert is near, and it's still pretty empty and now Ichigo-chan has sprained her ankle. Oh well. Looks like they're going to end this season with a live performance. Hopefully there'll be enough people to fill up the place. Will Ichigo-chan be able to recover from her injury? We don't know. It'll be interesting to see how they end this show. (Funny that not all the stuff from the manga is mentioned in this show, but oh well what the heck)
Ranpo Kitan: Yes we're at the last episode, and seriously, it's worth thinking. Of course not many would watch this, or we'll have plenty of sympathisers all around the Twenty Faces criminal, but then again doing evil in the name of justice against societal norm is not an everyday topic in Anime. Nonetheless, I think this is worth thinking about, and you bet I've been thinking about it. Supposedly it's known that both Kobayashi and Namikoshi can be saved, but then the latter doesn't have much of a will to live, so yeah, the continuation of whatever formula he's talking about as a creator will still live on. Fact is, and if you don't feel like one of them because you lead a good life or something that you can be happy in, than let me tell you: It's not real. Doing up something like that as a formula is very impractical (if you Google the word "Laplace" you'll know what I mean) in society, and the worst case scenario is as of the terrorist situation of today, that you will be stopped and most of us will not give a damn about it. Besides, it's your goddamn life. If you want to throw it away instead of thinking how to break through that which you don't like, don't call yourself weak and force it upon the people who have harmed you. Period. I better stop here. Any more and my mask will slip, lol. Anyways, nice show, and didn't regret picking it up halfway through the show. Takahashi Rie too, thanks to you this was a nice show to pick up. *Kobayashi voice* Yeah!
WORKING!!!: Wow, that's plenty of development to absorb for this episode. In the latest episode, we see a final conclusion to start on Takanashi's feelings on Inami-chan (the mother's reaction at the end really is freaking me out), and the biggest thing that is going to happen in the restaurant, which is Yachiyo stopping her work in Wagnaria. Hmm... I won't say that is bad, but then now that Popura-chan is joining in the fun with her own problem, can't wait to see how they're going to conclude this one. I may not have read the manga, but if this is what the story shall end with it might just be the most interesting thing I'm expecting ever since I watched this like, 5 years ago. Man, next week has to come. We need another Episode 3 very badly right now. *laughs* (BTW Yamada-kun is a dick, seriously)

漫画
MANGA

Kuroshitsuji: I'll thank that kind guy for translating this chapter of manga (I'm at 107 here) (and no, I don't read Chinese translations), and it's great. We manage to see a big misunderstanding amongst the kids (really romance in this story doesn't stack up), finally that Green Witch we know of is out of her hell, but into another, where Sebastian apparently is indirectly raping them. What's with the mouth cuffs anyway? Oops. (no I don't watch porn) Anyways, this is a great chapter, and can't wait to see what happens at her audience to the Queen. But damn, I hope someone translate this regularly.
BLEACH: Well most of the stuff is expected this chapter. Nemu has to die and the bad guy is definitely and surely going to accompany her death somehow. Somehow didn't notice Kubo likes to pick on the good guy again, and this time it's Szayel's soul (because really, he's dead and stopped in time and who knows if he's gotten out of it yet or not) that is mocking him. Nonetheless, loss of a long-term attachment is undeniably sad even if for a mad scientist, but as he seizes his next victory hopefully he can find some real person to be his assistant in the future. Or not. Whatever. He's a jerk anyway.

This Week on Klassic Note

Yeah, you remember from last week? I was talking about Kalafina and VELTPUNCH. And yeah, those I chose ended up in the list eventually. Not to say they are 5-stars, but then again I've not given 5-stars since February. Also on the list is Mina-chan's new single, and yes again it's going to be my shelf next week, probably, if I time it right. Along with that is another release pending two weeks from now, Tomacchan's new single, and from the recent PV preview it looks great, I must say. I'll elaborate more on how pissed I am at missing special gifts yet again (I'll bitch about it in the review instead) when the stuff arrives, but you'll probably have to wait till next month to get it done. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for cozy diary's first full album (and knowing of the fact that they are also under famous people years ago), and probably I'll get a few more songs next week by going another round of song-searching. At this rate... I think it's okay. Surprising to be seeing total number of songs drop this year round. Probably. We'll see.


That's it I guess. I'm probably going to have a conversation with her tonight (oohh), which will just undermine me as a human even further, seeing her grow up like that. Anyways, I'll see you guys next week, as we have more Anime to conclude (and start for next season), as my entertainment life continues to get better. Cya.
[P.S.: (Audience: You look happy.) You can say so... *hehe* I wasn't yesterday though. Freaking weekend quiz.]
[P.P.S.: Yeah I bet some are almost disappointed in the first postscript. lol But here it is. The images.

The Mina-chan one wins this round, I must say. But not over the shower scene. That one makes Tomacchan on the same level as a gravure model, so that no one can top it, as far as I know. lol]

Wait, do I have to censor that one? (Audience: I guess not...) But this one family-friendly site sia... (Audience: Yeah your pervertic thoughts are safe rating...)

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #37

...

What? I'm supposed to put something here?

I guess it's instinct that I fill up the Klassic Note section before I realise I didn't fill this up, huh, (Audience whispering) Oh no, I did remember to fill up the ballot paper, don't you worry. Wait, what?

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: You know, I can take cheezy drama. This time about Rin-chan and her best friend. And more than best friends, Sayo-chan is her number 1 fan. Funny they talk about the motivations behind being a voice actor, but then Kouno Marina (the voice actor of Rin-chan) doesn't have that much acting in her (lolol), but then still is loved by the industry. I guess this just shows they really just want age to define the role of what Anime characters are in, isn't it? Guest this week is Kamiya-san again, and this time (I wonder if it is) he who sees Rin-chan without the confidence to do her work, also shares his experience in the field. True Rin-chan is matured at her age to undertake such a job, but yeah, she has no life, she wants to be normal, but then as you all know (and you should) we're already born unique, so not being normal is just primal instinct already. Rin-chan is already living a life, so she should follow on to it. Her circumstances are rare, and so is a friend who supports her all the way, be her shield since young, and eats parfait with her every year. It may be farewell, but believe me they'll meet much lesser. I mean, much much lesser. *laughs*
Ranpo Kitan: Well apparently another episode of recap, but then it's not a recap. It's more like, understanding the original story from the bad guy's perspective. (okay I say "bad guy" with respect to the story, alright?) Okay fundamentally his own ideals and his life had two fatal errors which I think would end him up getting a Nobel Prize instead of being a rumoured killer in this story. (1) He can get out of his life, Namikoshi himself. Clearly because he's in such a life that leaving that kind of life for survival will be instinct, especially if he cannot live with it. I mean, he only has that part of a life to be happy for, why not get out of the majority of the bullying? (2) His formula now has a known fatal flaw (from the perspective of the audience of this show, of course), which will result in the death of the creator of the formula. Simply speaking, without the formula or not, if one continues to do bad things, he will get caught and killed for his own actions. That is crime. Or karma. Not some stupid formula. Thanks again, production, for adapting another wonderful mystery show. I've seen it all, so yeah, nice try. *laughs*
WORKING!!!: Yes, if you guys wanted development, there it is. This episode they talk a lot more about Satou x Yachiyo, and we finally get a result. Satou has gastric problems. And of course Kyouko is going to be lonely after this. Anyways, the ban for relationships in the restaurant has been lifted, which leads Takanashi to face his feelings towards Inami-chan. Posing as Kotori-chan may not be the best idea (though doing it is going to make many scream), but this may solve the significant problem from Inami-chan's side, than for both of them. Because if Inami-chan can realise she likes Takanashi despite her fear in guys, then it's just up to the guy to face his own feelings and settle this relationship once and for all. (BTW Satou x Yachiyo is probably going to be the most exciting thing already, so three cheers for that xD)

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Well Nemu, after all this, you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have keep Mayuri's hopes so high by surviving more than 2 days. You shouldn't noticed that he takes are of you as a creation as he would as family and that he has that side for you and thus is protecting you. You shouldn't have sacrificed yourself, knowing that the best way to not repay him is to get rid of yourself, his creation.

Oh, that one's next chapter? I'm sorry; got too into it already. Anyways, pity Mayuri's masterpiece is going to go into pieces pretty soon if this goes on, but then it's nice to see that Nemu has something up her sleeve. Though it's not a zanpakuto or anything... (BTW nice chapter, and I didn't know he modified his zanpakuto to get his Bankai. Everything after that, I know. *laughs menacingly*)

音楽
This Week on Klassic Note

Well, not much this week again, I guess. That said, there's SCANDAL's new single, in which for this time I decided not to give the B-side, so yeah, no deliveries coming my way this time. I also went to listen to a couple of songs from recent live broadcasts (of course, you know from where), and really cannot stop dancing to another Yoru no Honki Dance song, and yeah, I took it from their first album which is like, from last year. Primary's best album came by and I decided to give a listen this time, but apparently I'm more hooked to their early songs, with Fix (from Klassic Note 2009) and now from her first single which is like, ten years ago. That said, I did give a listen to have an idea how her songs evolved, and also got a hold to listen to her latest songs from this year, and... not much, yeah.

Other more recent releases that I will hold on to give my opinion on include VELTPUNCH's revival single which I just gotten my hands on since two months ago, and I... don't know how to give another song. They felt so... different from what I know of them. Well, I guess this will happen when you don't release new songs for three years. (I really want to hear the lazy style of rock I loved from them from back then... *sob* We shall see) Also just listened to Kalafina's new album, and I'm not very impressed. Not only did I not pick up on their single topic tracks, I'm still feeling a sense of familiarity with their current list of songs. Kajiura Yuki-sensei, if you're running out of ideas... It must be tough for you. Anyways, I'll probably update this soon, hopefully by next week.

Next week brings up the pretty controversial Mina-chan's new single which I don't know I still want to give or not yet, but then I'll be open again and give her chance. The dance pop genre isn't my thing, you know. But then again if you seen the pictures from her official website you can't say no. To the previews, not the balloons. Or her slightly revealing her front. *laughs*


I guess this is it, then. If I remembered anything I suppose I'll remember now again. Anyways, I'm (f**kin' so) tired now, and there's assignments to finish by the next week (that's how tired I am), so I'm rather stressed out for now. Cya guys then, and until next time... take care. No one can take care of you if you can't take care of yourselves, seriously.

[P.S.: Prepared for more *blabbering* underwear? Because I know you are. *giggles*

Man, how long can I go on like this? Thankfully there's Fumika-chan to hold me together so I don't go-]
[P.P.S.: Yeah Mina-chan's official website has been updated with more images, if you did read the Klassic Note section. That'll probably come next week. You bet I cannot resist the balloons. *laughs*]

Actually, life needs a rehearsal. It may be live, but practice is necessary.

Not that anyone I know says that, but by instinct you should notice saying things wrongly comes much easily than ever. So yeah, I think I need to rehearse a lot.

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #36

Yeah, I'm tired. Running a flu and I still have school tomorrow. That I have to go. And yeah, good thing again I've done most of them (even though half of it is done earlier today), or else I will just... I won't. I will collapse after I posted this, haha. Anyways, let's get started with new stuff, yes?

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: Hmm this episode we talk about the man (or in this case woman) behind the scenes - the manager. Didn't know they do this much besides taking care of seiyuu (well newbie seiyuu of course), and the many things they have to do to keep them of value. Of course there's other stuff to the job, but man Konno is motivated to do so, as seen from her student days.We'll apparently see more Rin-chan next week, so that'll be interesting too. Touching stories may not be my thing, but it's a good chance to exhibit them in this show, I guess. The guest this week is... she does Inuyasha and Totoro, so you'll know who she is if you're an Anime fan. This show surely is giving many the chance to do stuff, many that'll take many shows to realise. FYI, I checked the voice actor for Konno the manager, and... Furuki Nozomi, she's still new. She also does the role for Sakamichi no Apollon, that guy Kaoru. Serious. Pretty shocked when you don't know who's behind the mic.
Ranpo Kitan: What an episode. Finally after two weeks of waiting we see the real guy behind the crazy formula which can apparently predict future events. As Namikoshi is the inventor of the formula and also has the headstart, he apparently controls all the events that are happening right now, even Akechi's, which is obviously a bad thing. This is going to be some fight man, and that's quite a good ending for this show. I'm looking forward to it, really. Picking up this show like, halfway wasn't a bad choice after all. I also know that I watch many of this type of cliffhanger shows, but hey, I like them, and that's good for me. Also, good background information for APoL, I guess. *laughs*
Kawaisou OVA: Wow. I don't even know where to begin. Considering that this is a show from like, a year ago, I'll keep things a little simple. It was nice to watch this again. Though the feelings of the main characters are getting into me, say Usa-kun and Ricchan, but then there's everyone else blended into a school festival experience, and yet again the distancing has been emphasised again. Of course you can say the ending sounds like a pairing for the two because it feels like an Anime type of ending story, but hey, it's still good. Sadly we probably won't see any more other than this, which makes me a little sad. Nonetheless, the jokes and drama are all in it, which is just nice to watch, even if it's a year later.
KimiUso OVA: Yeah another one I missed, but this time a few months ago. This show was great, but surprisingly they decided to do a flashback on this episode, where they show us the very cute children and their voices (YESH) and of course awesome music they Aniplex (animation production) still reluctantly show us snapshots instead of like... well it's hard to animate, yes? (lol) Anyways, it shows many scenes of importance, like how Takeshi came to become the likes of Kousei through eavesdropping on his piano session (little do he know there's a monster behind his back), and like many kids, everyone is surprised and inspired by perfection. Man, perfection stands no chance against the likes of balance, as shown in the show slightly, but also in APoL. *laughs* Nonetheless a good show itself, and definitely worth reminiscing about. I really wonder kids these days spend that much time seeking such perfection or not. Well I guess so...
WORKING!!!: Well the mother is back, and yeah according to the official website homepage the last character to be introduced is that long-haired, weird sadistic woman Shizuka, and also the mother of the Takanashi family. Despite her high status (and people disguising as her), she is pretty harsh on her kids considering her age, and has a very suspicious character to it. And of course she knows about Souta and his (we can conclude by now that it is his) girlfriend, and he strives to protect her. How we don't know. What I do know is the mother will probably the link to help make these two come together. Meanwhile, Kazue is living a silly story with Kyouko's surbodinates (which is quite nice to watch actually) (spare me the drinks if I were to be with Kazue), and Kyouko doesn't like Yachiyo's parfait. Oh damn, did she want to help her solve the relationship dilemma? Man this show has plenty of cliffhangers, but considering we're not far away form last episode there are things to hope for. I must say the production team (Aniplex) has done a pretty good job keeping this show alive and exciting. Here's to another interesting episode next week! *yay*

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Exciting stuff. Knew Nemu would come out into the open for some reason at least. Nonetheless, great fight, but the strategy is known, and the opponent can evolve in power like Kenpachi (well apparently with enough spiritual power you can do anything), so they are screwed. Well, at least Nemu is. Wishing her the best of luck for next chapter, and man they should do the Anime already. Really wanna watch how some of these fights pan out in animation.

SHOW
MythBusters: Another Star Wars episode? Furthermore none of them are realistic in Earth? Serious? I guess in this case I can only comment on the production and feasibility of the science of the myths, and I think Adam and Jamie got it as close as it can already. Other than that, a nice episode to watch them do plenty of special effects and stuff, but then we may not be expecting more after this episode. Yeah, from what I see there aren't any new ones, so... I guess they're on hiatus again. See you next time then, guys. (I meant the MythBusters, BTW)

This Week on Klassic Note

Not much again this week. I'm starting to think if this is supposed to be normal. I mean, last week I'm only reviewing one single, and one next week. I'm probably not giving Mina-chan her single already, and Tomacchan's single is at the end of the month. And that is pretty much it. How? Maybe I should go find more new songs, huh. Recently I've not been feeling well, so that'll have to wait. Funny it's this time of the year where new songs are at a all time low. Or I just need to go find new mainstream artists. Oh well, when I feel better, I guess. In other news, cozy diary (yes, Chinese artist) released their new song for a taste of what's to come of their album later this year, and man it's great. I like it, to a certain extent, and that is a good thing.


That's it I guess. Plenty of Anime, last episode of MythBusters probably for the year, and I need more new songs but I'm rejecting more than I can take them. Well, I always did. But it's just a lot more stricter. Cya guys then, and until next time... Ugh my head... *sniff*

[P.S.: More Tomacchan, yes? I'm bleeding internally. Thankfully fumika-chan is for the weekend.

And next week won't be much better. She's going to show more skin. What shall I do? Maybe I should stop for now. (No, I won't, haha)]

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #35

I sometimes wonder why I'm still religiously doing this post every week, not that I'm religious though. But, it's a good gauge of what I'm NOT doing (which is study), and what happens around me that I'm missing on. I mean, new songs and shows etc. Yeah, missing some new songs recently.

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: I thought the narration wasn't a thing until we finished with probably the next live performance animation I've seen ever since K-ON! second season. Man, that was something at least. (I know, Futaba should go out with her No.1 fan) Anyways, the narration is another example of stuff people hardly get to touch in their career, but when opportunity comes you cannot say no, for experience, for exposure, for knowing awesome people including this week's guest voice actor Machi Yuji, also super experienced and probably the guy to find for narrations in Japan. Well, not that I know of him anyway; I hardly get to watch Japanese TV here. Honestly saying, despite the fact in the show that Rin-chan was most popular followed by Ichigo amongst the three, I must say in real life it's definitely completely reversed, haha. Come on, I watch two main roles from Takahashi Rie and none from any of the other two. Now you know who I prefer already, huh. Takahashi here has great prospect in voice acting, I must say.
WORKING!!!: Yeah, in the battle of Yachiyo VS Otoo VS his wife, Haruna wins this round against feeding Kyouko in the restaurant. Man, that was funny, haha. Also, some other things get settled, like Kazue's relationship problems (I don't know how somewhat another person hitting him makes Minegishi himself realise what love is, but whatever) and Haruna probably coming in to stay (man she got plenty of script this episode), we also will probably get to see Takanashi's mother soon. Well I'm not keeping my hopes too high because they've covered her image for this long, but then I'll look forward to it if it comes. Man this show has so much development, it feels less of a drag than last season, probably. As always, this is how production works, and I'm glad this show is going to come to a conclusion.

No Ranpo Kitan this week, don't know why. Probably delayed schedule that I wasn't informed of. Dammit.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: I may be very confused as of now, but I think I get the picture somehow. Mayuri is about to get screwed before Nemu appears to dodge an arrow for him. Man first thing, he would've survived anyway, or at most stopped this fight by vanishing in another form anyway (I hope no one forgot that), but then now we're talking about consciousness of androids? Well I don't know, but then we now know of Nemu's real name, and probably that she isn't "created" by him. If that is not worse, apparently this leader-subordinate relationship is very absolute, which may not be good news. Anyways, she probably won't die I guess? Mayuri has so much of a reason to not die. We know that, haha.

SHOW
MythBusters: Almost forgot about the show that ends the week, and man are sharks awesome. Nonetheless, they are back with more shark repellents and unhappy busted myths, and they turn out good. Looks like it is scientifically proven that no being in this world likes the smell of their dead species. I mean, you smell a dead body and you won't run away? You must be a weird freak. But then that also begs the question of who potentially going to sell these commercially now that it's been proven? Oops.

This Week on Klassic Note

Damn I watched two lives of Kalafina's best live this year and Kana-chan's 3rd album live on TV broadcast recently and I can't seem to get a song from them. Okay, at least one, I guess, but still. And then there's the usual Sayuri's single which is great if she didn't put old remixed songs into the release. I've not been finding anything much this week, and I guess I might just do so seeing that I don't have many releases in the upcoming month. This year... has not been much. Which is great, because 200+ songs per year is kind of crazy, and taxing. And things will pick up next month as far as I know.

I need to find more songs. The desperation is killing me. And I'm also limited by my own creativity and expectations of new songs. Argh, damn myself...


I guess this is it then. *sigh* After thinking so much about entertainment, I need to think of myself some time. Seeing the future ahead of me is tough, but at least I'm going on a computer fair (as I would call it generically) with my family next week. Cya guys then, and until next time... I don't know. Just... don't think negatively. Go out. Don't be like me. Yeah, also the stuff I tell my nephew and niece. *sigh*
[P.S.: Yeah fanboys, here's your weekly dosage of bikini. And some Baba Fumika-chan.

I need to stop posting this. Too much for my physical health. My mental health, however, is going good. Without any girls in my life. (Audience: Man, serious?) Yeah. It's my fault... *sob*]

The Klassic Note Review 2015.08 Issue 1

Didn't expect to do this at this time of the year, but yeah there is good reason to do so. Because it's another single that I can happily give yet again, and this time it's from someone new. Precisely so I must do this, despite it being delayed by like a week and me not getting any free gifts out of it. Oh well, let's begin.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

TrySail - Cobalt [Single]

Anime Edition

Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(Yeah no close-ups. I'm disappointed. But of course this is a single with less cuteness and more coolness, so I guess it's fine. That Anime version one though...)

Origin: I'm not unfamiliar with this girls trio, ever since I got interested in voice actor Amamiya Sora (aka Ten-chan) from last year. She apparently is under MusicRayn, which means she lines along her seniors from famous group sphere. Along with new girls Natsukawa Shiina and Asakura Momo (both pretty good in my opinion), they form the next generation of a idol band. Despite the heavy competition out there, I think they can do their own style from each of their own characters, and now I'm already at their second single, even though like months ago I decided not to. There is reason, and I shall explain why over here.

(1) Cobalt
Also the theme song for Anime "Classroom Crisis" (which I did not watch, as usual) this season, this song comes in as a catchy pop tune. Why it does not grab my attention initially is purely because I want to not hear such a style. Months later after listening to the previews I gave them a chance and man did I make a right choice. Not only was the melody catchy it was also easy to listen to, giving it a thumbs up for just the format of the song overall. Simple lyrics follow along the good melody, and soon you'll notice you have to sing to it. The music video, on the other hand, is quite a disappointment, I must say. Pretty but out-of-sync CGI along with a dance from them like at the last chorus probably isn't the right way to do it, but still. This song is good, and I approve it.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)

(2) Honto da yo [*Really (it is)]
Adding on to the awesomeness in the A-side, listening to this suddenly attracts me to their attention, with this literally a dating song, from the lyrics itself. I know the people behind intend to promote them, so I'm all for it. Whoever you like, however, will not change your idea of this lively tune, and overall catchy tune in itself, and must be a pop song I've heard for some time. A very good song indeed, and you can't ask more from them now.

『どんなタイプの女の子が好き？ どんなデートすれば楽しいの？』 Man, I have to choose between Nansu, Mocchi and Ten-chan?? So unfair~ lol From TrySail - Honto da yo

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) August 16, 2015

This is the ultimate song, man. Even the lyrics are so suggestive. Now I have to date one of them, hehe. Listening to TrySail - Honto da yo

Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)

Conclusion: Overall a nice single to listen to. I totally enjoyed listening to this single purely because of its well made lyrics to accompany easy to listen melodies. Talk about a singular production because it's one guy doing all the composing for this one. I must commend him, because he did a good job. Hopefully TrySail will stay strong, and probably I'll see them again here next time. Meanwhile, you guys should give a listen to this single if you can take easy listening pop melodies, or if you want to watch the Anime. Anyways, show some support, yes?

-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note


*Translation of a grammar phrase with respect to context, and this is the closest I know of.
(Her nickname is "Mocho", by the way. I just... oh well guess I have to know them better.)


THE PACKAGE
Now the package. Man, I wanted to scan the images in the booklet to show you guys, but I take perfection very seriously. So, too bad.

I got this one from Animate again, but then this time I definitely missed it by a lot, even if I reviewed days before the release date. I'm expected (really, huh) to get an Anime sticker stuff along with probably the best free photo gift I can choose from them. So I decided to take a bet. A bet that I still had the chance to get it despite it saying it's going to be out of stock. Yeah, they ran out of it. *sigh*

Besides that, the single is well done, and kudos to them for not just doing a single piece of a booklet and feature all three of them in each page. That one I give a thumbs up. After that, it's like every other single. I've been dazzled so many times I'm becoming numb. But really, it's very well done. I'm just... pissed that I didn't get... Whatever. I should've just played safe.


Cya guys next time then. I'm tired and having plenty of blues because it's a Monday, and I waited for this in the afternoon until I wanted to sleep, but I skipped it for this. Until next time... Sunday, I guess? Yeah, see ya.

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #34

Yeah, it's been a week. I'm starting to feel the strain. Hopefully you aren't. If you do, I cannot do anything for you anyway. Besides offering some laughs from the things I enjoy. Okay, not the YouTube stuff. lol

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: This episode's guest voice actor is quickly introduced as the show gives us more insight to the types of dubbing voice actors do besides Anime. Koyama Rikiya may not be famous to me, but him doing a good job as the boss in Servant x Service really left an impression for me, so I know he's one of them to be featured as himself in this show. Movie dubbing takes care of listening and speaking over it at the same time (poor Futaba has to watch the scary parts umpteen times to get over it), audiobooks makes people serious even if it is not a serious book (and now I know Nagaku Yuki can speak voices other than her Ichigohime image), and game voice acting can be seriously boring (poor Ichigo doing voices for like, a dozen BLEACH games) (Rin-chan... she's fine.) and repetitive. Overall a serious episode that should've been on every episode for this show, but clearly it's not, which is good in its own way. Next episode sees them on stage, which means more new songs? We shall see.

Ranpo Kitan: Hey so this show airs between these two shows, and this latest episode we get a conclusion to a simple Twenty Faces crime, but we know now that Akechi is doing all this to stop this "formula" from fruition. Problem is in the show the idea is loosely explained, and it's already an after-incident, with the original creator already dead. This episode probably also springs a lot of theory to understand the sciences, that math is the fundamental tool to all sciences even if they are impractical, well at least in theory. Nice show. Got boobs, got chicks, little kids are fine, and weird stuff all over the place. This show can watch. Just... not that often, haha.
WORKING!!!: Well we continue with more stories from when Yamada finally decided to reunite with her family, like, just her mother but not her real brother, whilst clinging on to Souma as being her brother. I can see that though, Souma really is better as a brother in some way or another. That too, is also pushing slowly (but surely) Takanashi's feelings against Inami-chan, which is no surprise we will get an ending to them sooner or later. Talking about ending, we may be closer than we thinking, as more dangerous and weird situations are going to surface. I really wonder what ending is ahead of us for this show. Hmm...

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: What a chapter. Mayuri is freaking me out, yet he is also fascinating at the same time, as a fellow researcher in Soul Society. I (I mean in the story) may not have limbs like this or a modified Bankai, but I have many things up my sleeve too, and that's what makes it flexible as a fighter. If one part fails, try another. If your Bankai gets stolen, use Kido because thats its own weakness. *wink* Anyways Mayuri is likely taking this down (because even if that doesn't die it will be reborn, you see), but Nemu is staring at him in a corner. Is she going to do anything? I don't think so. We know she's dead once she betrays the creator.

SHOW
MythBusters: Another fan-based episode again it seems, and without doubt the most number of myths contested this time round ever since they cut down their cast for this. Most of them only require one scene of filming to get it done at least, and tests weren't super definitive (it's more like testing the ideas that they are mostly right, anyway), just very straightforward. Golf may not be the best choice for games they aren't good at and they aren't at in real life, but then we all know not all games or even all games do not have specific instructions to teach the skill in particular. And besides, I can ask the game. That's still a problem in video games till date. Maybe if that ever happens we may see this myth plausible? Haha we can but hope. Funny watching Adam and Jamie play golf though, very like those Germans in Allo Allo, really. Whether I'll do it myself? Nah *laughs*

This Week on Klassic Note

Quite a lot this week on Klassic Note, and we maybe leading a rush of new songs before the next part of the year comes in, which is... not much for now, but hopefully will pick up by next month. Who knows. Anyways, I shall mention again about TrySail's 2nd single which is pretty damn good considering the fact that my first impressions of the topic song isn't that great and actually the whole single is written by the same guy. So... yeah. Probably review tomorrow, or whenever the package comes which does not conflict with my morning lectures. amazarashi's new single review comes in due to my watching of the third show I picked up this season "Ranpo Kitan", and being the opening song this song is great. The B-sides aren't that impressive as one of them is shorter than 2 minutes which is against my rules for giving songs (not that it's great anyway), and the other does not leave much of an impression anyway. miwa's new single may include familiar tunes already, but the topic song... You guys watched it already? Man, the music video though...

A fight over a book? Come on, get creative already. By the way, miwa-san? Not the best of duo singers out there in my opinion. The looks.

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) August 19, 2015

Anyways, there's also new songs to expect next week and beyond. Sayuri's debut single which is the ending song from the new show I was catching up doesn't sound too bad. I may give another single featuring a female singer yet again. Yeah, even with a whole shelf of female singers this year, I know. Also, I caught on just the right time on Tomacchan's radio show to hear her new song, and I must say I like it, unlike Mina-chan's new song, so I'll see how it goes until then. It's one month later anyway. SPECIAL OTHERS have confirmed their album release in October, and VELTPUNCH has another (digital, though) single next month too. This year's going to be great. Not fantastic though, but great. (Man, what am I talking...)


Yeah that's it as always. Here is where I do a conclusion and tell you guys to come here again sometime as you please as I continue to somewhat privately share about my life, without any form of comment. Cya.
[P.S.: I know. I'm excited for the pictures too. If you wondered if Tomacchan has stripped...

Bad news is that it's a "no." Good news is it's happening next week probably. Yesh.]

"My brain's been stagnating. It needs this time of circumstances to get it going." -Kaineng, 2015

I really didn't expect to say this myself. Serious.
(BTW that's adapted from a British sitcom 'Allo! 'Allo!, just to not violate copyright infringements or whatsoever)

Well school has started, so from next week I'm going to get busy. But I suppose it won't stop me watching shows anyway, really. Look at the list below. I think I'm getting hyped for no reason. *wink*

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: (1) F***KING DRAMA! Yeah who would have known, really. Stealing roles. (2) Guest is Kugimiya Rie, and I bet if I show this to my friend he'll start watching this show lol (3) The production are assholes, but as Futaba's senior said this is rather inevitable. Whether it's production being jerks or they changed it or they want to push someone to fame using this show (a very good example I know is Denki-gai no Honya-san, where a "Futaba" is pushed aside and replaced by Ayachi, who also did the opening theme song for the show, her first Anime single cameo) and so on, you'll know that someone must be behind this. And instead of searching for the truth, letting it go is part of the work. Reality is harsh, but this show is some level of drama. (4) The ending theme song (and I don't know why they don't sing in it, also do up a music video) rocks. Compare that to the 2nd single which just want me to give because they are theme songs. Here's the evidence for their first single, released... two months before August. It's already out, the "3D" seiyuu version. I'm a voice actor fan guy.
WORKING!!!: *sob*

...

*sob*

(Audience: SO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE LIKE YAMADA'S MOTHER???) Haha, I guess so. But then that was hell of an episode. 2x reunion isn't an everyday thing in this show, let alone say probably the two most important ones (romance are counted as reunions too, you know) in this story up till now. We're introduced with Yamada's mother, who apparently is not mute but is so bad with words she rather not say it. (Now I wish I was her, but life would be tough, seriously) Also kudos to the author for linking Yamada's story with Haruna, that wife Otoo keeps missing her by but (for now) has found her once again. Man there's so much to talk about it, but now I'm in tears. If you aren't then buzz off; this show isn't for you, you heartless freak.

Recently I'm bored, so there isn't just this. I went to watch a couple more shows from this season. Yes, this season, even if it's about halfway through already.

Classroom Crisis: Yeah you're not seeing wrong here, but then since I was hooked by the opening theme song last night - with "last" being Saturday - I decided to give this show another chance, ever since I rejected it when I saw the previews. Episode 1 was in view here. Honestly saying, I thought of Glasslip. Not that it feels similar, but it's the worst case scenario, so perhaps... Anyways, this show has plenty of unhappy people, we'll be dealing with privatisation, astronomy and other space physics that I know quite a bit about, so this show will become boring sooner or later. Besides, the drama is minimal, which is a direct inverse of Glasslip, where plenty of drama is not covered by that little action, furthermore it's without explanation. So I guess for this show I'll just listen to the theme song instead. Yeah, Trysail. Not ClariS.
Game of Laplace: Why this? Well, I was flipping through Anime for next season (yes that is so me) and one from next season caught my attention. And guess what? It's a show from the noitamina slot, famous for specially selected adaptations, and honestly saying I totally forgot. And coming back a season (which is now) I came across another noitamina production. This show? If you watched Hyouka or even UN-GO then this show is for you. And I think for me too. Mystery show from adapted mystery novel, weird circumstances, and only the smartest and quirkiest can solve it. Compare Oreki, Yuuki and Akechi with their partners Chitanda, Inga and Kobayashi, both with smart minds and quirky antics towards mystery solving respectively. Perfect combination for watching this show up to this point, and I really wonder why I haven't watched this. Theme songs are very fresh in an aspect (even though they could've been better; I'm starting to miss School Food Punishment already), and I think I'm going for seconds after I finish this. So if you would excuse me I'd like to catch up with this ASAP, haha.

漫画
MANGA

Amari Mawari: Someone is jealous. But then seeing as this is a romance show for minors (really it's very close to child porn), I guess this is rather understandable. But not in a grown-up level, so I guess that's fine. It's a short chapter too. Just comparing Nozo and Amari together. I can take Nozo anytime. lol (I'm not into kids anyway haha)

SHOW(S)
MythBusters: Man I already start to wonder why they keep sending guest stars anyway... But never mind. This episode, they say it's superhumans in shooting, but then the hitman myth is pretty possible for humans anyway. If Adam and Jamie were using real bullets it could've been real. The other myth though... they should try putting their hands in molten lead to see what happens. We may not even see the bullet firing anyway. And yeah what about other kinds of bullets? Guess not. They'll travel slower than a sports car anyway.

This Week on Klassic Note

This week brings quite a few releases that I'm interested in, so I'll talk briefly because I'll talk about them next week too. WORKING!!! new single of theme songs has arrived, and I must say I'm pleased yet not satisfied with how the full songs end up, but seeing that it's the last time I'll get theme songs like that already I'll give them anyway. (Yeah this is the kind of bias I give sometimes) TrySail's 2nd single is to be ignored earlier this month, but then it caught my attention again as I faintly recall the chorus, and now it has come to stay. The whole single. Yes, I've pre-ordered. Hopefully I'll get the gifts. I may have just missed it lol. miwa's new single is also up earlier than expected, and until the music video comes out soon I'll hold my opinion. From the listening of it I must say it sounds not bad. I might just give the whole single a listen.


That's it, folks. As I have an Anime marathon to catch, I'll not bother myself anymore with this post. Good thing it's already half -written by the time I do this now, haha. Cya guys then, and until next week hopefully I'll give more insight to the three shows I'm this season. Bye!
[P.S.: I can't tell you to look away because there's cuteness and sexiness at the same time.
Kana-chan stepped in late this week, so I just took a couple for now. Next week more Tomacchan, and TrySail maybe if it comes next week. I don't know, we shall see...]
